Introduction to ServerStadium’s Backup APIs

In today’s digital age, data is everything. At ServerStadium, we understand the importance of protecting your data, which is why we provide a robust suite of backup APIs for your virtual machines (VMs). Our APIs are designed to give you complete control over your VM’s backup operations, ensuring your data remains safe and accessible.

Discover our VM backup APIs:

Get Backup Configuration API

Curious about your VM’s current backup settings? Use our ‘Get Backup Configuration’ API. This endpoint fetches the backup settings for a specific VM. All you need is your VM ID, which should be appended to the URL, and your OAuth token.

URL: https://api-cloudx.serverstadium.com/snapshot/v1/api/gateway/user/backup/config/:ID Parameter: ID (VM ID)

Delete Backup API

Need to erase a backup? Our ‘Delete Backup’ API does just that. For this operation, you’ll need the ID of the backup you want to remove and the VM ID. The backup ID goes into the URL, while the VM ID is part of the request body.

URL: https://api-cloudx.serverstadium.com/snapshot/v1/api/gateway/user/backup/:id Parameters:

• id (Backup ID in the URL)
• vm_id (VM ID in the request body)

Restore Backup API

Wish to restore a backup? Our ‘Restore Backup’ API is your best friend. This operation also requires the backup and VM IDs. The backup ID is part of the URL, while the VM ID goes into the request body.

URL: https://api-cloudx.serverstadium.com/snapshot/v1/api/gateway/user/backup/restore/:id Parameters:

• id (Backup ID in the URL)
• vm_id (VM ID in the request body)

Save Backup Configuration API

Want to tweak your VM’s backup settings? Use our ‘Save Backup Configuration’ API. This endpoint lets you adjust the backup frequency, retention count, and backup status. These details, along with the VM ID, are included in the request body.

URL: https://api-cloudx.serverstadium.com/snapshot/v1/api/gateway/user/backup/config Parameters:

• days (Number of days to do the backup)
• retentions (Number of backups to keep)
• status (Backup status: 1 to enable backup or 0 to disable)
• vm_id (VM ID)

Don’t forget that every API request needs your OAuth token in the ‘Authorization’ header.

Step 5: Select your desired package or a custom package. Then you may click on the blue button “Step 3” to review the summary.

Step 6: Once you have reviewed the summary, you may choose to instantly build the VM or schedule a time for the VM to be built. Then click on the blue button “Create VM”

You will be directed to the VM detail page showing the provisioning status.

Via API

You may need to automate a VM build from your own platform. In this case, you may use our robust and simple API to build the VM.

Step 1: You need to create an API key; please follow this guideline: Generating API Key

Step 2: You will need the following items:

1. “Location name” – by calling the following API
   https://api.serverstadium.com/v1/api/gateway/user/location-group-by-country
2. “Package ID” – by calling the following API
   https://api.serverstadium.com/v1/api/gateway/user/packages/list
3. “Security Profile ID” – by calling the following API
   https://api.serverstadium.com/v1/api/gateway/user/securityprofiles
4. “Storage ID” – by calling the following API
   https://api.serverstadium.com/v1/api/gateway/user/storagetype/list
5. “Template ID” (the operating system) – by calling the following API

Step 3: By compiling all of the above items into one raw JSON format body, the example as follows:

{
    "location": "Jakarta",
    "package_id": 1,
    "hostname": "test-web02",
    "security_profile": 13,
    "public_ip_id": "automatic",
    "disk_id": 17,
    "schedule_type": "instant",
    "schedule_date": "25-07-2020",
    "schedule_time": "",
    "template_id": "d2efd681-ff1d-40d2-aa3d-90777225119b"
}

You will receive a response with your new VM id.
